This insect (flying) showed up after the Orchid bloomed, it is about 6cm long and quite colorful. Does not seem to be bothered by camera lens up close or one
can almost touch it. The photos describe it better then I can. I have checked listing for Damselfly, Dragonfly but to no avail. I masked in from another photo what
the wing looks like toward the bottom of the image to get better detail
Thanks for any help
It's a Plume Moth. Platyptiliini.

Thank you Kwanjin, I followed it up and it appears to be the Himmelmans's Plum Moth
You're very welcome.
